Today, we would like to share another recovery story filled with hope. Our patient had been suffering from severe lower back and leg pain for many years, which caused significant limitations in daily life. The increasing discomfort negatively affected both mobility and overall quality of life.
The TLIF (Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion) surgery performed by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kamran Aghayev became a turning point for our patient. Following the successful procedure, all symptoms related to the lumbar disc herniation disappeared, and the leg pain completely resolved.
Today, our patient can walk without pain, easily perform daily activities, and continue life with much more energy and happiness.
Every successful treatment strengthens our belief and motivation to provide our patients with a comfortable and healthy life.

Our patient traveled all the way from Croatia for treatment
Today, we had the privilege of treating a patient who came from Croatia seeking help for severe Eagle Syndrome — a rare and often misunderstood condition caused by elongated styloid bones and calcified ligaments deep in the neck.
She had been struggling with:
_ Difficulty swallowing
_ Constant throat pressure
_ Facial tingling
_ A strong sensation of “something stuck in the throat.”
_ Compression of the internal jugular veins seen on imaging
After thorough evaluation, we performed a bilateral styloidectomy, removed the calcified ligaments, and decompressed both the carotid artery and the internal jugular veins to restore normal anatomical function.
The surgery went smoothly, and she is recovering very well.
Her improvement is already noticeable, and we are proud to help her return to a better quality of life.
Eagle Syndrome is widely misdiagnosed, and many patients struggle for years without answers. With the right surgical approach, however, relief is absolutely possible.
If you or someone you know is experiencing persistent throat discomfort, neck pressure, dizziness, or unexplained facial or head symptoms, we are here to help.

Our patient left Istanbul in good health and with excellent improvement, and is currently continuing his recovery phase with regular remote medical follow-up.
We congratulate our patient on the successful outcome of both surgeries, and wish him continued health and well-being.
We also wish good health and recovery to all our patients 🌿💪🏻
